Cymophyllus fraseri – Fraser's Sedge is composed of whorls of shiny dark evergreen blades replete with very fine saw-tooth serrations. In clumping fashion leaves gently arch away from the central point of each new plant. From the tough, fibrous evergreen basal foliage emerge spring flowering stems rising from about 8 to 12 inches each topped with a small, white inflorescence... well, actually the white male flowers are densely set atop the greenish female flowers clustered underneath. Whereas most sedges produce undistinguished flowers the milky white and light green bottle brushes of Cymophyllus fraseri are the exception. This is an endangered plant in its Central Appalachian range preferring rich, draining soil – good on a slope and used as an under planting to acid lovers such as native rhododendrons and the like. Part sun. Pot grown division.
